The subject of the study is the problem of drawing in the philosophy of Jacques Derrida and, in particular, the so-called "blindness hypothesis", which Derrida expresses in the work "Memoirs of a blind man: self-portrait and other ruins": "drawing... and the drawing operation must have some relation to blindness." Derrida explores this well—established ontotheological tradition of classical metaphysics: blinding here becomes a necessary sacrificial act, a condition that makes possible the transition from the physical eye to the spiritual, so Derrida (...) describes it as a "sacrificial" economy, which is inevitably followed by an artist, each drawing of which turns out to be a prophecy of a blind man, indicating the horizons of the future.  Explicating Derrida's hypothesis, we turn not only directly to the text of the "Memoirs of a Blind Man" and the documentary narrative film that accompanied it, but also strive to reconstruct the exhibition of the same name held at the Louvre in 1990, which was also curated by Derrida. The comparison of these three layers made it possible to more fully reveal the "blindness hypothesis" and fit it into a more general philosophical context of deconstruction, as well as to rethink the problems of figurative drawing, its mimetic and representative nature. We come to the conclusion that the essence of the drawing has nothing to do with the visible, and its source lies entirely at the level of memory. (shrink)

This article analyzes the theme of book in the philosophy of Jacques Derrida, as well as the inevitability of transformation of its customary forms. The theme of book is central at least in the three texts by Jacques Derrida: “The End of the Book and the Beginning of Writing”, “Outside the Book”, and “The Book to Come”. However, in the process of analysis, the author goes beyond the boundaries of these three works of the philosopher, placing the problem of the (...) “book to come” in a broader context of discursive practices of Jacques Derrida. The book in its common form is on the cusp of dispersion, i.e. decay of its usual structure and integrity. The former totality of linear writing, which is organically interrelated with the book form, yields to the new forms of submission of information and its archiving. This article describes how Jacques Derrida explicitly builds the form of the “book to come” letting it to the horizon of his writing, and thereby changing its very structure and fabric. A number of philosopher’s texts are distinguished by their polyphony, structural complexity, excess of quotations, scatteredness of phrases, words, and even sounds, phonemes, and syllables. All this leads to the disruption of the customary rules of reading, and forces us to form completely new strategies of the perception of writing and books, as well as all other practices that are inextricably entwined.

How to manage the organization's human resources is very important, considering the different characteristics of human resources and the role they play in the implementation of formulated strategies. In this article, taking advantage of the integration of educational management and human resources and considering the management strategy in the organization, with the help of a field study, it has been carried out by separating job characteristics and categorizing variables related to manpower, training, performance improvement, value creation, and creation of a (...) cooperation culture, the prosperity of early profitable businesses has been addressed. The statistical population of this study includes the managers of fast-growing companies who have a history of working in international markets, and their number is 455. To determine the sample size, 313 managers of these companies were selected using Morgan's table. The sampling method was stratified random. The tool for gathering information is a questionnaire, which has been given to a number of management and marketing experts to measure validity, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient has been used to measure the reliability of the questionnaires. To check the research hypotheses, the structural equation test was also used using Lisrel software. The results show that the functions of human resource management have a positive and significant effect on the prosperity of fast-growing businesses. Furthermore, the function of providing human resources, training, cooperation culture, creating value have a direct impact on the prosperity of fast-growing businesses. (shrink)
